Like, I know anything Gary, but I have a couple of questions as I wait on some CF. Can this design be modified any to have the more angle on the rotor so that it flies less nose high? Also, what affect would the rudder being taller but with less of a vertical fin have on flight? Most of my planes that size have about a 6" rudder.
Like I said, what do I know, nothing about Autogyros. What kind of light system are you using?

Hey, I don't know anything about these things; I'm just experimenting, and having fun. I would guess that, yes, you can increase the rotor angle, and yes, your fin/rudder will work just fine.

The rotor LED is powered by a large watch battery in the opposing blade. The others run from the regulated 5V of the receiver (supplied by the ESC). You can tap off neg and +5V from any unused channel on the receiver.
